2 DEVICE DESCRIPTION |
BM 26 BASIC/ADVANCED |
|
2.2 Device description
Magnetic level indicators have a measuring chamber that contains a magnetic float. It is attached vertically to the side of open or pressurized tanks. A level indicator is attached adjacent to the measuring chamber. As the float moves up and down, it rotates a column of flaps inside the glass tube of the indicator. If an analog level transmitter is also attached adjacent to the measuring chamber, it is possible to have an output current that can be monitored from a remote station. Optional bistable switches let the user monitor important measurement limits.
The measuring chamber of the Basic version has a maximum operating pressure of 16 barg / 232 psig (depending on the length of the chamber). It is unnecessary to test the measuring chamber according to PED 97/23/EC as it does not have to comply with CE marking requirements. It is also ideal for measuring liquids with a density ≥0.8 kg/l / ≥49.9 lb/ft³ and temperatures up to 150°C / 300°F.
The Advanced version is ideal for measuring liquids with density range of 0.58...2.0 kg/l / 36.2...124.8 lb/ft³, temperatures up to 300°C / 570°F or pressures up to 40 barg / 580 psig.
WARNING!
Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC data
• This device is designed to function at near constant pressure conditions. It is not designed for operating conditions where vibration or fatigue stress is present.
•Events that are not taken into account in the calculations include exceptional risks such as: earthquakes, bad weather, fire etc.
•The standard design calculation does not take into account the theoretical coefficient of corrosion. The product circulating in the device must not have properties that give rise to surface erosion.
•Our conformity declaration is limited to the parts of the device that are pressurized. It does not include parts that can be dismantled (valves, ...).

•The user must take necessary steps to protect the installed device from shock waves (water hammer). A pressure limiting valve must protect the installation.
•The effective pressure of the installation (the maximum permitted by the pressure limiting valve) must never be greater than the maximum permitted pressure, Ps, marked on the device nameplate.
•Make sure that the parts in contact with the fluid are compatible with the fluid and conform to the ageing characteristics of the measurement environment and the fluid used. These have either been recommended in the instructions or form the subject of a particular specification in the contract.
•The external pressure, Pext, must be equal to atmospheric pressure, Patmos (Pext = Patmos).
•If stainless steel devices are more than 6 m / 20 ft high, we recommend more anchoring points.
CAUTION!
Before you fill the tank, make sure that the column of rotating flaps is set to zero (the flaps are all black). If not, the device may incorrectly indicate the level.

3.7 Optional limit switch
INFORMATION!
The level switches are not attached to the device before delivery. Remove the switches from the packing and obey the instructions that follow.
WARNING!
Too much heat can cause damage to the limit switch. If you put insulation around the bypass level indicator, do not cover the limit switch housing. Make sure that there is approximately 15 mm / 0.6¨ of empty space between the limit switch and the insulation.
Figure 3-9: Limit switches and insulation for the measuring chamber
1Limit switch housing
2Insulation around the measuring chamber (cross-section)
3Measuring chamber (cross-section)
Empty space between the limit switch and the insulation for the measuring chamber, a ≥15 mm / 0.6¨.
CAUTION!
If liquid density changes, the switch will not detect level correctly. Recalculate the position of the switch according to the true liquid density and repeat the installation procedure that follows.
CAUTION!
The switching point of the switch when the level increases is not in the same as the switching point of the switch when the level decreases. Does the limit switch have to be open when the float is above (for HIGH limit switches) or below (for LOW limit switches) the switching point? For more data, refer to Definition of switching point offset.
WARNING!
If you put insulation around the bypass level indicator, do not cover the limit switch housing. Too much heat can cause damage to the limit switch.

Figure 3-10: How to attach a limit switch
1Limit switch
2Switching point centreline
3Level indicator and optional measuring scale
4Limit switch clamp
Equipment needed:
• Large slotted tip screwdriver (not supplied)
Installation procedure
•Use the clamp to attach the limit switch to the measuring chamber. Do not tighten the clamp. i The cable gland must be at the bottom of the housing.
•Move the limit switch until the switching point centreline is at the level required. Refer to the level indicator scale to help you position the limit switch.
iIf the indicator column does not have the scale option, it will be necessary to calculate the vertical offset of the float magnet in relation to the level of the liquid (depends on the liquid density). Adjust the switch position for the float magnet offset. For the vertical offset tables, refer to the appendix in the Handbook.
• Adjust the switch position for the switching point offset.
i If the limit switch is set to LOW limit (the switch is open when the float is below the switching point), move the switch up a small distance to adjust for the offset. If the limit switch is set to HIGH limit (the switch is open when the float is above the switching point), move the switch down a small distance to adjust for the offset. For more data, refer to
Definition of switching point offset and Switching point offset values.
• Tighten the limit switch clamp.
WARNING!
Make sure the cable gland is on the bottom the housing and is tight to stop liquid entering the housing.
INFORMATION!
Liquid level offset
For a description of the liquid level offset, refer to Liquid level offset: description on page 79. For the graphs and other correction data, refer to Liquid level offset: correction data on page 80.

Installation of a limit switch for float failure detection
•Make sure the measuring chamber is empty and the float is in the chamber.
•Attach a limit switch to the bottom of the measuring chamber. Do not tighten the clamp.
•Connect the limit switch to the electrical circuit. Make sure that it is set to LOW limit. For more data, refer to Optional limit switches on page 29.
•Energize the electrical circuit.
•Lift the limit switch up the measuring chamber until the limit switch status changes to open.
•Hold the limit switch tightly in this position and tighten the clamp.
i The limit switch is in the correct position.
INFORMATION!
The float will go to the bottom of the measuring chamber for the reasons that follow:
•damaged or corroded float (float failure),
•liquid density that does not correspond to the specifications received with the order and
•draining the measuring chamber
For more data, refer to Errors on page 37.
